BYU's athletic director Tom Holmoe addressed the quarterback competition between Jake Retzlaff and Gerry Bohanon, emphasizing the significance of the decision but refraining from naming a starter, which he humorously stated is beyond his authority. Meanwhile, Virginia's head coach Tony Elliott is also grappling with a quarterback dilemma as the season approaches, with both Tony Muskett and Anthony Colandrea vying for the top spot. Elliott acknowledged that neither quarterback has stood out decisively during training camp, raising concerns about the team's offensive continuity. As both teams face challenging schedules, Holmoe and Elliott stress the importance of the quarterback position in their respective programs' success. Holmoe's comments reflect the storied history of BYU quarterbacks, while Elliott's position is critical given his precarious standing with a 6-16 record over two seasons at Virginia. Both coaches are under pressure to make the right choice to instill confidence and improve their teams' fortunes.
